I am lvl 94 with 69 base str. My total str is about 92 I believe. I need 105 str total in order to wear a Nisrock. The only thing I can possibly think of upgrading at the moment are my shoes and cape. They are clean, dex ones. Should I make a str shoe with an advanced str crystal? -OR- should I just screw it, get a nice dex shoe and just add base STR. And, is a str pac worth it? -OR- It's better to get a dex pac (cheaper right?) I know I'm not low STR, but I want to keep it as low as possible so whenever someone casts MW I will benefit off it. I got a clean Zhelm (no money to upgrade Dex) Clean maple cape (need to upgrade) 31 dex overall 4atk WG (will upgrade later, not worried about it) Clean 4~5 dex shoes Deputy Star White belt (haha x_x I can never seem to find a dojo party...) I think that's about it. Sorry, got no access to Maple at the moment to confirm. EDIT There are two auctions going on for a str pac. Worth it? Or not? 2atk 6str 0slots = 37mil (ends in 28minutes...) 2atk 10str 0slots = 100mil

I dunno, i would probably buy str equips but also put some more into str. Base str shouldn't be THAT low Personaly mines 85 and its kinda high, but that because i plan on using a reverse bow. and i still need more str =o

You'd need 105 str for a Nisrock.

Actually you need 105 str to equip a Nisrock. And I'd just go for equips. Maker some str onto your shoes, get a str cape, etc etc.

Oops... 105 str for a Nisrock. @ Kevvl Well I didn't list my equips (the rest of it anyways) because I don't need (or can't) upgrade them. I got a clean Zhelm (no money to upgrade Dex) Clean maple cape (need to upgrade) 31 dex overall 4atk WG (will upgrade later, not worried about it) Clean 4~5 dex shoes (need to upgrade ... ) Deputy Star White belt (haha x_x I can never seem to find a dojo party...) I think that's about it. Sorry, got no access to Maple at the moment to confirm.

Belt: Solo is actually faster than party. Just keep doing the easy half, start at ~16 or so, stop at whichever rest stop is ~28-34 (I forget the exact floor)

I got a clean Zhelm: As a last resort - You could Chaos Scroll it and hope for the best (+ DEX/ STR) Clean maple cape: STR PAC really helps. I got one and I never regret getting it. 31 dex overall: That's fine. If you can - Switch it for a STR/ DEX one for extra STR). 4atk WG: An option is getting a 10+ ATK Archer glove with STR as well. Clean 4~5 dex shoes: Definitely get some for STR (Maker is recommended) Deputy Star: MoN for sure. Extra HP, MP and Atk? What more can you ask? White belt: Now - You have two options (Best) 100% the belt for STR for 4 extra STR Get an Immortal Pharaoh Belt, 1 60/100% Belt STR Scroll and 2 Chaos Scrolls and scroll it

Thanks Kevvl and GeEmEs for the equips recommendation ^_^ I will slowly digest your advices and carefully plan my budget. Yes I was planning on making a Str shoe. For the 2nd gem, should I use a black crystal instead? (the stat randomizer?) I might end up with a lot of str. OH I FORGOT! What about snowshoes scrolled for dex...? That will add a lot of range, but then I'd be having str requirement problems. And yea, I'll try to get a better dojo belt, solo. I hafta admit parties are more fun. As for the immortal pharaoh belt, I doubt I'll get one. I've been getting crappy pots. Luck's never on my side. Archer atk glove? I'm not sure if I want to do that, since I wouldn't be able to share the atk glove with other characters. Oh by the way... What is a good deal for a STR pac? I think I might just buy a clean 2atk pac and try my luck with with str scrolls, then CHAOSSSS (-dies-)

Don't you all know that it's all the same thing? If you add into str, you can just get dex equips... But if you get str equips, you're just going to add those points into dex anyways... Essentially, both options are the same, except dex equips are cheaper (I think). So just add points into str and you can use your money to get dex equips to make up for the "lost" points in str

More base DEX you have, more dex you will get when someone casts MW... I mentioned that in my poll, if you looked. "screw mw, add more base str"
